Notification to TT, according to Leifland, about the Ambassador of North Korea.
At his own request, the North Korean Ambassador Kil Jae Gyong [Gil Jae-gyeong] held an audience with the head of the Political Department of the Utrikesdepartementet, Leif Leifland, on Tuesday morning. The Ambassador’s intention was to give explanations of the publicity that appeared in the morning newspapers.
The Utrikesdepartementet is awaiting the further investigation of the police into the case, as we already said on Monday night. This is expected to be completed only in a few days.
